lT is stated that a provision in the
Army Appropriation bill to increase the
pay of non-commissioned officers was
stricken out, but instead the generous
donation OF one-quarter OF pound was
added to the daily potato ration. This
pretty nearly answers the scripture ques-
ton: "If he asks for bread will ye give
him stone?" The non-commissioned
officers in the Union Army, as a body, in
soldierly qualities were the equals OF the
lowest grade of commissioned company
officers, and yet mark the great disparity
of pay for their services. Again, there
can be no question that the orderly SER
geants in the same army during the late
war accomplished more in drilling and
increasing the efficiency OF the rank and
file than the captains OF companies did.
The pay of orderly sergeants should be
doubled.

FOR MAYOR.

While the Republican priesthood are
fixing up the appointments for muni.
cipal officers, the DEMOCRAT would
respectfully solicit the floor for a
moment for the purpose of placing
in nomination the name of Aaron
Keyser for Mayor. Mr.. Keyser
is an old resident of the city, is large
property owner here and fully identified
with the permanent interests OF the town
and Territory. He is thorough going
business man, practical and discerning,
with an open purse always to
meritorious charity, patriotic causes and
public enterprises. These qualifications,
together with his unquestionable in
tegrity, render him fitting man for the
most important municipal position in the
list of appointments under the act now
pending in Congress. No better man for
the place could possibly be selected, or
one whose appointment would be
less Objectionable to any class of our
citizens. We do not know that he
would accept the appointment if rendered
him, but we take the liberty OF submit
ting his name at the suggestion Of mum
Der Of prominent citizens, who believe
that the interests OF the city could not be
better served than by placing him at the
head of the municipal government.

THE ARMED BULLIES OF EUROPE

There is a lull in the warike clamor so
lately prominent in Europe. Possibly it
is the ominous calm which precedes the
storm. 1t may be the result OF the sober
second thought OF leaders and people
who naturally start back from the pros
pect of imminent, deadly war. The cur
rent rumors OF immediate hostilties in
connection with France and Germany
unfavorably affected every important
money market in Europe, and by indi-
rection our own. While stock-job-
bers and spectators in American
securities would suffer loss by such a
war, this country on the whole
would be benefited in pocket, for our ex-
ports would increase indefinitely. Es-
pecially would our mining interests be
advanced by the increased prices and
demand for useful and precious metals.

obligations in making up an estimate OF

undoubtedly add TO the material pros
perity OF this country. Either a general
Disarmament must shortly, ensue or war
is inevitable in Europe. Half score of
bullies with chips on their shoulders and

each other on narrow walk, must result

BUSINESS AND SPECULATION

Stock-jobbing and speculation enter so
largely into the volume of modern busi-
ness that it is difficult to say where
what is called Legitimate" operations
end and "illegitmate" schemes com
mence. There can be no question as to
the legitimacy OF productive labor which
from the farm, the mine, the forest and
the sea, furnishes material for the
actual necessities OF the race. Nor is
there any question as to the neces.
sity or legitimacy OF labor incident
to the shipping and transportation
interest in all its qualifications.
The common carriers OF the world are
as necessary to its prosperity as are the
farmers and miners. The middle-men
who handle the products and attend
to their exchanges are equally nee
essary. And in this connection comes in
the temptation to engage in illegitimate, ii
not dishonest business. For those who by
large transactions in handling the absolute
necessaries of life are tempted to form
combinations to raise the price OF these
products on the consumers, in business
slang, to engineer corner" on wheat,
meats, or other necessary articles, there
can be no words OF condemnation too
severe. They are criminals on a large
scale, and the misery they infiict on
their fellows can hardly be gagged.
But it is in connection with shares
OF stock in industrial and railroad cor
porations that speculation largely lives.

The success OF building associations in
providing homes for members with fam
lilies, and permanent safe investment for
those without, is demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Philadelphia leads all other cities
in the Nation in the number, simplicity,
OF management and success OF her build
ing associations. Thousands OF cosy,
comfortable homes in that well-ordered
and prosperous city are owned and occu-
pied by men with limited incomes, as the
direct outgrowth OF these associations.
Hitherto, Salt Lake City, under
exclusive church rule, presumed to
continue SO indefinitely, has offered
no inducement for permanent resi-
dence to American citizens. Under the
protection of an exceptional veto-power
which has prevented mining claims from
being taxed to death non-Mormons at
tracted to the mines have considered
themselves as transient residents hoping
to make their "pile" and get back into
the United States. Now that there is q
prospect OF the National authority being
established here, there comes desire to
remain here and grow up with the
country" Instead OF paying high rents for
inconvenient and shabby houses
permanent residents will, in the
future, seek to own their homes. For
such as have ready money, de-
sirable lots can be reasonably obtained
and comfortable homes provided. For
such as desire to expend their rent money
in gradual and continuous payments for
homes OF their own, building associations
come in play. A rolling stone gathers
no moss. A permanent business and q
permanent home are prime factors il
solving the problem as to whether "lift
is worth living" A mans house is hi!
castle, and his life is made richer ir
every respect in realizing the fact Nov
is the time, and this city is the place, t,
profit by the solved Philadelphan prob
lem OF cooperation in building and il
converting dependent tenants into indie
pendent householders.

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

There is more snow in the mountains
around Zion than there has been at this

more or less interfered with by deep snow ,
but compensation comes in good SUD-
ply OF water. Formerly, especially in
the Oquirrh range, dense forests of pine
held the melting SHOWS in abeyance and
furnished constant supplies to the streams
until late in the season. Now, the ruth
less hand of the wood-chopper has swept
the hillsides clear OF forest trees, and
snowslides endanger the miners, while
swiftly melting snow deposits danger
ously sweep the gulches and flood the
valleys. Consequently the mountain
streams drop suddenly from the extreme
OF spring floods to summer scanti-
ness. If in secure places, reservoirs
could be built to hold back for
summer use the spring surplus OF water,
the danger of drought would be avoided,
and larger area of land could be safely
brought under cultivation. As popula-
ton and capital increases, some system
will undoubtedly be devised and carried
into execution by which this wealth OF
water will be utilized and converted into
coin. For water has money value in
Utah, and the mountains which grid our
fertile valleys not only furnish metallic
treasures, but collect and distribute the
water supply, without which Utah would
be uninhabitable. Water, no less than
time, is money.

1t was pleasant fancy of writer to

story of the Princess from whose pretty
lips ..fell diamonds, both in speaking
and in singing, and even in silence, y
when she merely smiled. "For, con.
sider," he says, Unto what does the
diamond blaze, when, on combustion,
the spirit of the gem leaps upward
home again to its parent, the sun; into
what but carbonic-acid gas?-that
carbon dioride of the chemist which at.
tends the combustion of every fire and
gas-burner, the decomposition of every
vegetable, which is exhaled in every
breath we breathe?n The same writer
also utters the less pleasing but equally
striking thought that "'the chimney
sweep is covered by that which, under
happier auspices, would be jewels"
The diamond is mentioned very
anciently in literature. Jupiter, ac-
cording to classical mythology, was
anxious to make men forget the DAYS
he had spent among them, and finding
that one man-Diamond of Crete-re-
membered him, turned him into a
stone; not very credible story of the
origin of the gem, but men of science
in the nineteenth century are not
much nearer to knowing the truth on
the subject. The Greeks call the stone
dddmaS the incompatible or I'M
changeable; and from this has
come down our word adamdntine
and, after the letters have undergone
changes of a kind that are not rare in
a growth of language, our name of the
stone itself. But, long before the
Greeks had emerged from the darkness
of the mythic age, the diamond was
made, among the Hebrews, the peculiar
jewel of the tribe of Zebulon; and
Aaron's breastplate, when he was
dressed in his priestly robes, was
adorned in the second of its four rows
of setting with precious stones with
an emerald, sapphire and diamond;
and jeremiah, when the Greeks were
just beginning to be known, rebuking
the misgoings of his people, said: 1.-The
sin of Judah is written with a pen of
iron and the point of a diamond.
But, although the ancients consid-
cred the diamond indestructible, and
were capable of trying the most daring
experiments with it, no specimen that
is known to hive belonged to them has
come down to us. Some persons sup
pose that the Koh-i-nor is five thousand

came to me suffering with severe case of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was fully restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities of maternity.
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed i'll a most alarm
ing state and suffered terribly. / gave her
a tablespoonful of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking the Com

mother of q fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use of the medicine she believes her
life would have been lost"

The Prussian Ministerial Council has de-

Reichstag elections. The extent of the re-
vision of the May laws depends upon the
pliability of the Center. A number of Con-
servatives in the Oberhaus are not willing
to consent to the return of the religious
orders, and 1t will require strong pressure
and reasons to induce them to yield.
